The practice of fishing has been around for millennia, but we as humans still don’t have it down pat. There are thousands of books out there on techniques, can’t miss hints and basic fishing principles. However, if you read only one book about fishing, this one should be highly considered.

Baron’s guide is more than just a fish tail, it is full of real information that you can take out on the water with you and that will really improve your techniques. We found the writing to be enjoyable, the tips really useful and we even managed to learn quite a bit about fishing.

The first three chapters cover essential techniques and information on how to find fish. You’ll learn more about how fish think and how to easily target areas of water where you will be most likely to find them. If you have ever sat out on a lake for hours with nary a nibble, these three chapters will solve your problems.

The next grouping of chapters goes into what to do when you’ve actually located fish in the water. From sound techniques on popular fish, to discussions on different types of bait and equipment, you’ll be learning a lot about what works and more importantly, what doesn’t.

However, our favorite chapter was the one on fishing etiquette. This is something you don’t see a lot of any more, and let’s face it, spend a day on a lake and you’ll find ten people who could benefit from reading this. While we wish everyone would read this chapter, it probably won’t happen. At least you’ll be prepared to fish responsibly.

The tips and tricks chapter contains some fantastic advice for catching specific types of fish and should be reread often. You’ll learn a lot of insider tips that will definitely impact the way you fish and the way that you go after the “big ones.” We found that the advice was sound, reasonable and quite honestly, refreshing.

If you’re sick of books that are hyped and contain nothing but a few crazy tips that will only work on the second Tuesday of May, this is the book for you. It covers basically everything you could ever want or need to know about fishing and how to be more successful while you’re at it. Whether you are frustrated with your success rate, or you just want to be able to take your fishing to the next level, this book will definitely help you get there.

Overall, this is a great book for anyone that is interested in catching freshwater fish. Whether you are just starting out or you are an old pro, you’ll be able to learn something here. This book would make a fantastic gift for anyone that loves fishing, especially for young adults or teens that are starting to get really interested in the sport. We highly recommend this book for all fisherman.
